INHALE'R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 723,738, dated March 24, 1903. vApplication filed June 5, 1902. Serial No. 110.357. (No model() To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUST K. SCHULTE, a
citizen ofthe UnitedStates, residing at Phila` delphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvana,have invented newand useful Improvemensin Inhalers,ofwhich the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an inhaler; and the object of the same is to provide a device of this class having an organization of elements, one of the latter being adapted to be held in the mouth and the remaining ones inserted in the nostrils and both connecting with a body or receptacle having a medicated material therein, whereby a blowing action setup between the mouth of the user and the body or containing-receptacle will cause a warm, moist, medicated air generated in the body of the said receptacle to be forced into and through all the air-passages of the nose, head, and throat through the nostrils in the treatment of various catarrhal and other af fections.
The invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figurerl is an elevation of an inhaler embodying the features of the invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section through the same.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in the views.
The numeral 1 designates a body which may be constructed of glass or other suitable material and preferably having the contour of a cylinder with a closed bottom 2 and an upper open end or mouth 3. Within the body l a quantity of absorbent material 4 is inserted and saturated with a medicament desired to be used and which may vary in accordance with the disease or infection treated. Within the mouth 3 a cork or stopper 5 is niovably mounted, and extending therethrough is a glass tube 6, which is projected downwardly through the interior of the body l and the absorbent material 1, carrying the medicament, and also projected above said cork or stopper a suitable distance for convenience in inserting the free end thereof in the mouth of the user.
Integrally formed with the body l and extending upwardly therefrom a short distance below the upper end is a curved tubular neck 7, which has communication with the body above the upper surface of the absorbent material 4, the said neck continuing into divergent tubular branches e', on the free ends of which rubber or other yielding tubes 9 are applied. The tubes 9 may be of any suit-able length and are free for divergence or conver-y gence lo accommodate the various facial dimensions.
In the operation of the device the free eX- tremity of the tube dis inserted in the mouth of the user and the free ends of the tubes 9 are disposed in the nostrils. The user then blows into the body or containing-receptacle 1 and the air becomes medicated, warm, and moist and passes upwardly through the neck 7, branches S, and 'tubes 9 into the nostrils and through the latter thev various passages of the head and into the throat and back into the mouth, thus establishing a circulation, whichmay be maintained as long as the user desires. It will be understood that at intervals the user will slightly inhale the exterior air and force it into the body or receptacle l, this operation being accomplished by slightly opening the lips,without sacrificing the beneiicial effects of the treatment.
It is preferred to form the body l, neck 7,v
and branches 8, as well as the tube 6, of glass in View of the fact that the said material can be more Thoroughly sterilized and cleaned. It is also preferred to have the body or containingreceptacle l of equal diameter throughout its lengthffor convenience in inserting and withdrawing the absorbent material, and, furthermore, the tube 6 may be inserted into the body without liability of breakage simultaneously with the cork or stopper 5, through which it is centrally passed.
The improved device will be found exceptionally useful for the purpose for which it has been devised, and in view of its simplicity of structure it may be cheaply manufactured. l
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- An -inhaler comprising an elongated tubular body with an upper open end and a closed bottom, the said body having an up- ICO above the upper end thereof, the said body 1o being adapted to receive a medicated absorbent material.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence lof two witnesses.
AUGUST K. SCHULTE.
wardlyextending curved neck integrally projecting therefrom below the upper open end thereof and communicating therewith, said curved neck continuing into divergent arcuate tubular branches of equal length, yielding tubes applied to the free terminals of the branches, and a stopper fitted in the upper open end of the body and having a tube extending therethrough and projecting W.
